As you may recall, Twin Sister are now known as Mr. Twin Sister and will release their new album on September 23 via Infinite Best. That might be a picture of the album art above, or one version of it at least. The group have just released a second song off the record and "Blush" is a lush, waltz-time R&B slowjam with a string section right out of a vintage Sade track. Stream it below.

Mr Twin Sister just played with The Antlers at Webster Hall here in NYC (anybody catch them?) and were to have done three nights at Baby's All Right the first week of September. Those shows are now not happening but they will now be playing two shows Baby's All Right on October 3&4. Tickets for the 10/3 and 10/4 shows are on sale now.

This past Tuesday's Die Antwoord show in NYC was cancelled due to illness, but since we last spoke a new date was announced. The group will now play NYC on September 8 at Irving Plaza.

Paul McCartney was scheduled to play some shows this month, but will now kick off a tour on July 5th at the Times Union Center in Albany before continuing to Pittsburgh, Chicago and many other U.S. places. June dates have been moved to October. The official statement reads:

"I'm sorry but it's going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again. I'm feeling great but taking my docs' advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon."-Paul McCartney

Everything But the Girl guitarist Ben Watt had to postpone his NYC and LA shows due to visa issues but those shows -- his first-ever solo headlining in the U.S. -- have been rescheduled.

Lauryn Hill has been on her short homecoming tour, having just played Boston on Wednesday (12/18). But now, like she did with one of her November Bowery Ballroom shows, she's postponed more of the upcoming NYC-area dates. Her Count Basie Theatre show which would have happened on Sunday (12/22) was moved to February 7, and her Capitol Theatre show which would have happened on 12/28 was moved to January 31. Tickets for the new dates at Count Basie and the Capitol are on sale, and all tickets purchased for the original dates will be honored. Her Long Island show, scheduled to happen at The Paramount on December 26, appears to still be on at the moment but we'll keep you posted if that changes (tickets).

Hawkwind had to postpone their 2013 North American Tour due to health concerns with member Dave Brock, but the band will be making up those dates in March.

Tickets to that show are on sale now.

The tour is a celebration of their 1975 prog classic Warrior on the Edge of Time and they'll be playing it in full. (Stream that LP via YouTube below.) You may remember that former Hawkwind hornblower Nik Turner was in NYC playing Hawkwind songs with his band Space Ritual in NYC earlier this month. And another former Hawkmind member, Lemmy Kilmister, also recently cancelled Motorhead's tour due to health reasons.

Crossover thrash vets DRI and Mucky Pup, who are no strangers to playing shows together, were supposed to do so again at The Studio at Webster Hall this month, but due to DRI's Spike Cassidy's extreme tendinitis in his left hand, that show (along with a few others) has been postponed.

DRI are also set to tour South America in December and they have a few other North American shows in 2014. All of their dates are listed below.

Tickets for the new date are on sale now. Flyer below.

As you may know, Broken Social Scene co-founder Brendan Canning was supposed to play a few US dates with Holly Miranda last week, and those unfortunately had to be cancelled due to visa issues.

Spanish synth pop band Delorean recently faced an unfortunate "virtual kidnapping" and have since needed to postpone some tour dates, including their NYC show which would have happened on October 23 at Webster Hall. They haven't announced the fully rescheduled tour yet, but they did announce that the new NYC date will happen on January 24 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for the new show go on sale today (10/16) at noon and all tickets purchased for the Webster Hall show will be honored.

UPDATE: All rescheduled dates have been announced, and they're listed below.

Those plans have been further screwed up since. Their label Metal Blade announced via their website today that "issues beyond the band's control" have forced them to reschedule the October segment of their tour; they'll now be in the States from November until about halfway through December. Scuttlebutt has it that Church of Misery had problems obtaining work visas because of government-shutdown-related delays. (Not the first time we've heard this this week.) I feel pretty bad for the band; it must've been an enormous logistical clusterfuck to reschedule all of those shows, and I'm impressed that they pulled it off.

There's also some good news. First, the Brooklyn show at Saint Vitus on 11/12 with Against the Grain hasn't been rescheduled; you can still nab tickets. Second, we now know who will replace The Gates of Slumber: Charlotte, NC goth/sludge (?) band Bloody Hammers, who just put out a new album.

Check out the updated list of dates, plus some CoM and Bloody Hammers music, below.

Palma Violets are currently on a tour, which was originally supposed to hit NYC last night but the date got moved to next Wednesday (10/9), still at Webster Hall. Skaters open and tickets are still available. But if you'd like to go for free, we're giving away two pairs of tickets. Details on how to win one pair are below. Another pair is exclusively at Facebook.

If you're going to the show and want to keep the party going, or if you're just looking for something to do late night on Wednesday, BrooklynVegan is sponsoring the official afterparty which happens at East Village bar HiFi starting at 10:30 PM. It's free and open to the public (21+) and members of Palma Violets will be DJing. Flyer for the afterparty is below.

An in other news, Palma Violets just made a video for "Rattlesnake Highway" from their debut album, 180, which came out in March. You can watch that below.

Lee Ranaldo & The Dust (whose lineup includes fellow Sonic Youth bandmate Steve Shelley on drums) are touring in support of their new album this year. That tour was supposed to hit The Bell House on October 25, but has just been moved to January 11. Tickets for the Bell House show are still available.

The wildly intense post-punk revivalists Savages are kicking off a North American tour this September, and though that was initially supposed to hit NYC on September 12 at Terminal 5, the Terminal 5 date has been moved to October 16. Tickets are available for the new date, and all tickets purchased for the 9/12 date will be honored. If you can't make it on the new date, refunds are available too.

Still no opener announced for the T5 show, but Mark Lanegan collaborator Duke Garwood will be opening many of the other North American dates.

As mentioned, Big Boi had to cancel a number of tour dates, including last Thursday's (6/20) Prospect Park show, due to a knee injury. He's since recovered and announced a leg of rescheduled dates that he'll play this September/October. Rather than the big free outdoor show that Big Boi would have played last week, his rescheduled date happens on October 1 at Brooklyn Bowl, the same venue he played in April. No word on yet on ticket information for that show, but you can check Brooklyn Bowl's site for updates.

Thursday's Prospect Park show did go on as planned with long-running West Coast duo Blackalicious taking Big Boi's spot, and support coming from Phony PPL and D-Nice. If you missed them last week, Blackalicious play the Best Buy Theatre on Saturday (6/29) opening for The Cat Empire. Tickets are still available.

New wave legends The B-52s were forced to cancel some dates due to Cindy Wilson's illness, including their NYC-area show that would have happened on June 6 at The Capitol Theatre. However, Cindy got well enough for the band to make it here for their co-headlining show at Roseland Ballroom with The Go-Gos on June 19. A picture from that show is above, and a video and both bands' setlists are below.

Now that Cindy is doing better, The B-52s have also announced that their Capitol Theatre show will be rescheduled for November 9. Tickets for that show are on sale now, and all tickets purchased for June 6 will be honored.
